title: 3,5-Dimethyl-1-{2-[(5-methyl-1,3,4-thia-diazol-2-yl)sulfan-yl]acet-yl}-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one.
abstract: In the title compound, C24H25N3O2S2, the piperidine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. The phenyl rings subtend angles of 75.6 (1)° and 86.3 (1)° with the mean plane of the piperidine ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through a network C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along [100]. The thia-diazol ring methyl group is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.69 (4):0.31 (4).
